Update takes you BACKWARDS

Update completely shat the bed. I was so excited to see Levels update since the previous version was amazing. Ive never wished I could undo an app update more than I do now. L3 does not simplify - it complicates.

(1) You can no longer manually set aside a monthly savings amount. Instead, you have to back into the math by choosing a spending number that accommodates your goal. This may seem like a minor change in temporal framing, but the spend slider makes that simple decision much harder than it was previously.

(2) MoM trending is essentially gone and what is now available is incorrect. The trends shown for my TM actual spend and LM actuals are exactly the same even though I have records that show I have spent differently. When you select "Projection," a seemingly random number is shown that does not reflect TM or LM actuals - how the hell was this number derived?

(3) There is no single replacement for the "Insights" view. Instead you have to move between individual widgets to see data that used to be centralized; this includes MoM spend, overall account balance trends, and spend trackers. How does that make things simple? It doesnt.

(4) Non-income credits do not affect your "spendable" figure. This is okay-ish since bonuses gifts etc shouldnt technically be spent in their entirety. However, I imagine this will make the app hard to use for people with irregular incomes and will make the process of counting side-income less automatic.

(5) Really? The app doesnt require a passcode any more?

Please bring back L2 and just call it L4 so that we can get back to something thats useful.
